CHF vs Pneumonia | NREMT Review | EMS Education | EMT Lecture

[@SeaVixey]

We just learned this, this week in my EMT class. Really helped clear up some confusion.

[@hamishPalestine]

I'm a new EMT just got my first job for a private company doing interhospital transfers and was surprised by how many patients have chf. Lots of them have peripheral edema/ fluid swelling in their legs and go to the hospital for weakness/unable to walk in my experience. Haven't seen the pink frothy sputum yet but, yes rales/irregular lung sounds are common.

[@ripgoose27]

I remembered right and left sided CHF by associating the L in left with edema in (L)ungs

[@rescuehoundemtd]

Good stuff. I have been an EMT for over 30 years and have just started teaching EMT school. You explained this very well and I will be using a lot of your techniques with my students.

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Glad it was helpful!

Great explanation. Maybe touch on pulmonary hypertension and how it leads to pulmonary edema.

[@carrieadamsemt88]

Can you do one on drugs? Like I know statins are cholesterol but do you have any other memory tricks? Or dosecal? I'm getting ready to start P. Class August 18th. Pharm is 8 wks long. Help!

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Carrie, I actually have a entire library of all the EMS medications in my course and also inside the course is prescription meds as well. This is what I give to all my students to prep for school; www.prepareforems.com It's all there my friend. Be Great, Evan

[@IronmanCampa]

Pulmonary embolism will also give you pink septum

[@andrewross4685]

Moreover, not only that, but most CHF patients do not present with pink sputum. That is a significantly late sign.

Anybody else here after failing the NREMT studying anything under the sun sence no matter what you can’t predict what’s on the next one lmao

I have a question about lifetime access to the course, can I use it to satisfy my continuing education requirements?

[@eternalnate]

No, you can use guardian cme for that though

[@shadyfranco8881]

What are rales?

[@TheParamedicCoach]

Rales is fluid in the lung fields. It also goes by the nickname "crackles" it is a major lung sound.
